Hey-ho everyone. Just thought I'd get in a little story while I'm lurking my flist. Well, last week two writers from The Onion came in to speak to us here at the University of Tennessee. They talked about how they come up with their stories, and what a typical week for them is like. It was a writer who's pretty much been there from the beginning, and the guy who does all the crazy photoshopped images you see in there. Needless to say, it was pretty much awesome on all accounts. It even reminded me about my dream to be a satirist. But we'll just see how lazy I am.Anyway, at the end of the presentation they invited everyone who wanted to stay to come up to the stage and get their mugshot taken, saying they'd probably use it in there at some point. Well.. hehe. I got mine taken. :) They warned us not to expect some great story to be with it, and said it'd most likely say "Child Molester" under our name, hehe. But, just being able to say I was in The Onion.. man. It was more than worth it. So, we'll see what they tag me as.
They asked for a few shots, some smiling, and a couple with blank, stony expressions. So, either way, it'll be hilarious. Ahh, I love that paper so much. :)
That's all for now, I s'pose. Back to my essays.
